Good Morning, While perusing the June 2002 issue of "The Northeast Reporter" journal of the Northeast Missouri Genealogical Society, I ran across some information that might help someone here. So, I am sharing it with you. Page 51: From the "La Belle Star" of Lewis County, MO Friday, Oct. 23, 1896 Alex SMITH and William KOEHLER have purchased the restaurant and bakery business of John RICHMOND. Friday, Jan. 1, 1897 John MINOR and Mrs. Maggie FRENCH were married Wednesday at the home of the bride's father, W.M. KAYLOR. Hopefully these bits of information will help a researchers subscribed here. The people mentioned here are not known to be related to my husband. Leslie (Bridges) Kohler Ggrandau-in-law of Christian F. KOEHLER (d 1906, Macon Co, Missouri)
